Vocalizing will give you 20% more power, as well as strengthening those all-important neck muscles (in case you end up belaying a slow climber).

Ingest some rocks or ball-bearings.

Then do yoga!

The ball-bearings will help to crush the plastic into smaller less painful pieces.

Don't do the yoga too long though. You don't want those bearings to become methane powered cannon-balls.

"there is an excellent chance that you won't know whether the anticipated event has been "operation success" or not"

LIKE HELL!

Dirtbag, you have put us through a tremendous amount of worry and panic with this thread.

So PUT ON THE LATEX GLOVES AND START SIFTING LIKE A DRUG RUNNER!

"I just swallowed a piece of a plastic fork"

OMG the name of this thread just cracked me up...pretty much summed up my past two weeks. I actually THOUGHT I had also swallowed a piece of a plastic fork - turns out I spit it all out. Dang thing broke in my lunch and I almost broke a tooth.

Good luck Dirtbag. Hope everything goes nice and smoothly for you!

"...I am here to make you all feel smarter."--Dirtbag

I just gotta wonder about the inherent "smartness" of a bunch of somewhat educated adults sitting around on their various computers eagerly awaiting the anticipated expulsion of a piece of plastic fork from the rectum of a guy called "Dirtbag" and his subsequent brush with plasticized death.

I mean...seriously...

db,

so glad your rectal equillibrium remains positive.

The narative is covering developments just fine.

A closer examination of the situation would truly be overkill.

Please don't consider posting any pictures.

I'm already able to visualize things just fine.

Jaybro,

Can we agree to leave gerbils out of it. I'm starting to get nausious here.

Before I became a high school math teacher I taught in a middle school. (Thank goodness I escaped.) During class one day, one of my less-than-brilliant students came up to me and asked if he could be excused to the bathroom, because he had just swallowed a pencil. What!!!! . . . I said as I envisioned the lawsuit that would soon follow. This student's parents were called, and it turned out that it required a doctor using a pair of hemostats, stuck waaaaay down his throat to pull out the 2.5" pencil that he had swallowed in my class. That kid became a legend at that middle school.

It seems he was showing off to the kids sitting close to him about how far he could put a pencil down his throat.

Er...DirtyBag...did you dig around and find the offending tine? Or does it just not matter now that you know you're rip-proof?
